ntpd never re-resolves domain names, so any servers which change address
are lost until the next reboot.

Also, as a correctly operated system would not change IP addresses except
after extended downtime, it is generally assumed that these IP address
changes are the result of a deliberate policy to frustrate the operation
of servers.  It may just be that you are currently operating under 
circumstances where that policy isn't working well.

I know this one is aliased as the Microsoft one, but is it really run by
Microsoft, or do they just pay NIST to be able to use it in Windows?

where they are not the best choice and this one may well be particularly
overloaded.
